Very hot and humid day. The out of bounds ski trail was easy to find. Made the turn after 15 minutes just as trail went north and downhill. Started the wack on a southeast compass reading. Easy to the col. Followed on and off herd paths to false summit. The last 100 feet or so was tight with a lot of blowdowns. Took a different track down. Headed north and a bit east. Went thru some pretty open woods. Stayed with that just a bit to long. Got off the ridge spine and paid the price. Once back on track easy walk out. #96 but who is counting. |
